hmm...

its just me messing with the raycaster

let me in

wip

heck

lol

oh and your abilities aren't as cool as the bosses

this will be a challenge when complete...

He attac but he dont protec

Each animate and move at different speeds while one chases the other. DEFs are awesome. I might make a boss fight simulator with this...

Understandable. It took me a long time to understand. I'm working on a manual/program to put on smilebasic and I'll add a section on animating sprites.

Other spanim commands are similar, but you will need to check for proper way to structure each. Also: the frame waits in spanim don't actually slow down other processes in your program

I use spanim .,"i" quite a bit. So the "I" changes the used sprite over a number of frames. in the screenshot, when you press up, i have the sprite 508, wait 4 frames, sprite 509, wait 4 frames, etc. all the way to the 0. The last number is how many times you want the animation to play. If set to 1, it will only play 508-511 once and so on. 0 makes the animation play indefinitely.

Do this (screenshot). Shown is only moving up, but the other directions will be similar. For other sprite directions, replace the 508,509,510, and 511with the correct sprite number and either inc/dec x or y depending on the direction of movement.

I'm using the draw as you go affect from the original, but made maps larger, added different "textures" and colors (like the one seen here) based on events of the game

I actually just stripped down the RPG example game from the system folder to just the minimap stuff and modified it some so I can use it in my project and make it seem original

minimap fun

with the code I posted you could do something like FOR I=0 TO LEN(X)-1 SPSET I,1+I:SPOFS I,X[I],180 NEXT to place multiple sprites, etc. There's plenty you can do with DIM

Let me know if this helps

contest entry is complete... will publish tomorrow night.
